To handle and manipulate cartons (2) of beverages which stand on their base, after they have been filled and sealed and cooled, they are transferred while prone before the drinking straw (3) is fitted. They are shifted on a line at right angles to their longitudinal axes into a station (9) where the drinking straws (3) are fitted, and their bases (2a) are on the same side. They are moved onwards to the packaging station (4), with their bases aligned outwards from the center of the pack. The carton filling and sealing, the transfer into the prone transport position, the fitting of the drinking straws (3) and the movement into the packing station (4) are all within a continuous prodn. line (1).
